“Where do we from here?” that was the question
Coach Ken Loeffler and his A&M basketball squads were
asking yesterday after discovering that 'their practice was to
be interferred with for the third consecutive day.
With a vital Southwest Conference contest on tap in
Waco Saturday night against the Baylor Bears, the Aggie
hardwood performers found themselves without a court to
work on Tuesday and only partial playing areas on Monday
and Wednesday.
As most everyone knows Town TTall is held in White
Coliseum, and as a result Loeffler and John DeWitt’s teams
found themselves with only half of the court to work on Mon
day while the stage was being 1 set
up at the other end.
Tuesday the Coliseum was filled
with chairs so
Coaches Loeffler
and DeWitt took
their boys to De
ware Field House,
only to find that
the intramural
program held the
floor (and pos
session is nine-
tenths 1 of the
law) so they did
n’t practice at all.
Yesterday they were back in the

Coliseum, half of at least for the
stage had’nt heen taken up nor
the baskets let down.
This is a good place to point out
that it is not- Town Hall’s fault
for the basketball team’s dilemma,
but that of those persons respon
sible for setting up the stages and
chairs used in the programs.
Tn fact, the plans for the new
8,500 seat coliseum were made with
just such worthwhile programs in
mind. Needless to say Coach
Loeffler and the Aggie basket-
bailers are “slightly peeved” since
they’re trying so very hard to pull
A&M out of the SWC cellar it’s
occupied for the past two seasons.
We’ve got one of the finest bas
ketball courts in the nation, but
whot good is it doing the team if
they can’t use it ?
